PEARL DRUMS

I have been shooting for years and years and I just had one of those dreaded days when every arrow suddenly wobbles its way to the target and the ones that narrowly manage to fly straight hit 8" low and 6" right or some other strange number you can come up with. I have learned from experince its best to hang the bow up for the night and fight another day. Anybody know what Im talking about?

Welcome to my world.   :banghead:    :deadhorse:  the war with target panic has given me many days like that but I keep plugging away at it and once in a while it's a worth it!!!

Yes many times early I tried to fight it, after some time I learned to Put it away for another day   :archer2:

Im generally an every day shooter, these days are rare. But they still poke their nasty heads in once in awhile, hopefully never on a hunting day when  have to MAKE a shot!

Nope, never get bummed out enough to sell it all, but I have been known to buy a load of gear, if the price is right    ;)

Ya got some good advice, just put it on the rack for a day or two. It's a physical sport and there are just days that you are not at the top of your game. It happens, just don't let it get you down.

Had one of those days yesterday after shooting well all summer.  Kinda like a golf game. Sometimes it comes and unfortunately goes. Had a much better shooting session today.  Concentration on a spot was greatly improved.  Hang in there.  Beav
A fast miss....is still a miss.

Obviously you are not a golfer.  We have many days like this but keep coming back.  Lots of parallels between archery and golf in that form, discipline, technique, patience, and execution are involved.

I just got in from a less than thrilling shooting session. I plan to start my season next week too and it didn't help my confidence. Oh well, I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Every now and then I have day where the "shot ain't happening".    :banghead:   I stop and head inside. But, I would never consider selling all my "stuff".    :nono:   That's unthinkable!    :eek:

I just take it along with the rest. I mean so what if I'm not "spot on" any particular day.

The arrows still look pretty getting there!..lol

It's no big thing, unless we allow it to become one.

Relax! If it's not fun right then.. well come back to it later.

My 2 cents worth.

God bless,Mudd
